Article Synopsis
- - The study explores a new combined surgical approach for treating chronic subdural hematomas (CSHs) by simultaneously performing MMA embolization and burr hole evacuation to reduce recurrence rates.
- - Nine patients underwent this procedure, which involved using fluoroscopy or navigation to accurately target the MMA during surgery, and the results suggest it is a safe and effective option.
- - The findings indicate potential benefits such as avoiding additional endovascular procedures, quicker recovery, reduced radiation exposure, and cost savings, laying the groundwork for larger studies to confirm its effectiveness.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly worldwide. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been linked to the risk of developing AMD. We aimed to examine the association between AMD and SNPs on CFH, ARMS2 and HTRA1 in Egyptians, a previously unstudied population.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Eight different HBV genotypes have been identified with distinct geographical distributions. Different genotyping methods exist including sequencing, INNO-LiPA, restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP), multiplex PCR, serotyping, oligonucleotide microarray chips, reverse dot blot, restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP), invader assay, and real-time PCR.
